The 36-year-old, who won 87 caps for Belgium and appeared at two World Cups, had ended his international career in 2019.
Fellaini joined Everton from Standard Liege in 2008 and moved to United in 2013 before signing for Chinese Super League club Shandong Luneng in 2019.
"What an incredible journey it's been," said Fellaini in a social media post.

Fellaini said he was "proud" to have represented the clubs he had and that it was "an honour to have played for the Belgian national team at the Olympics of 2008, Euro 2016 and the World Cups of 2014 and 2018".
He made 141 Premier League appearances for Everton, scoring 25 goals and registering 14 assists.
